8:53 AM Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) Website Hacked by Pakistani Hackers | |
The cyber crime cell here is investigating hacking of the website of the Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB), police said here Sunday. The website was hacked Saturday and its homepage was replaced with www.pakhaxors.com.
It displayed a Pakistan national flag and objectionable language for
the Chandigarh administration. CHB Sunday closed down its website and
put it under maintenance. 'This is a serious
issue and we have lodged a complaint with the authorities concerned.
However, all our data is safe. We had a backup option,' Chandigarh
housing-cum-finance secretary Sanjay Kumar told IANS Sunday. 'We
will make sure that nobody is harassed due to this. We will again
activate the website with all the information and links at the
earliest,' he pointed out. Crucial details
regarding the ongoing projects, tenders and future plans of CHB were
removed from the website. A few weeks back, CHB started accepting
tenders online. Last month, CHB also started digitising the property records in Chandigarh. 'Right
now it is difficult to comment on who the culprit is. A website can be
hacked by anybody, sitting in any part of the world. We are using all
our expertise in the investigation and hopefully very soon we will
catch the main accused behind this,' said a cyber crime cell official. | |
